Question for mechanics

[grateful1]

On your personal vehicle a little off doesn't matter, especially since you don't get your home torque wrenches calibrated that often :whistling:

I try to calibrate my torque wrench nightly!

We don't clean tools...that's pointless. We "bust rust" even if there is no rust to be seen. Nothing beats a good E-3 with a wire brush and some General Purpose cleaner.....

As I'm sure Anthony can attest, in the Aviation Maintenance field, we use some of the badest chemicals around. There isn't much that will take your skin off like Skydrol or Methyl Ethyl Ketone, MEK.

I clean my tools with Alchohol only to reduce the burning or corrosive effect of some of the chemicals I use. I do not however clean them to look good. If you do, to each his own. But tools that look like new, usually mean they aren't used much. :whistling: My tools are dirty fuggers. :sign:

Don't let him bullshit ya. All he does is sit around and smoke cigars. He has the cleanest tools in the shop.

Shhhhh, Bastid :angry:
